78 RPM Columbia Viva-tonal Electrical Process Antique Shellac Record - The Wreck of The Southern Old '97, John Henry - Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers, Columbia 15142-D Pre World War 2 era.

Rare HTF original. The record plays completely through and well for a historical record nearing the 100 year century mark. I am not an expert on grade or value. Please look at the photos to judge condition for yourself and offer accordingly. I am open to offers. It comes in the original Columbia Records paper sleeve. Gid Tanner was not on the same level as the great Jimmie Rodgers, but still very popular in the day.

Pre-war Country, String Band

Recorded 28 MAR 1927 in Atlanta, GA

Gid Tanner, fiddle & harmony vocals; Clayton McMichen & Lowe Stokes, fiddles; Riley Puckett, guitar & lead vocals; Fate Norris, banjo
